Joy Division’s ‘Love Will Tear Us Apart’ is Keanu Reeves’ favourite songThe Matrix actor was a guest on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert earlier this week, and during his appearance he took part in the show’s ‘Colbert Questionert’ segment in which guests are asked a series of 15 questions designed to “penetrate the soul”.
Among the questions, Reeves was asked to pick one song to listen to for the rest of his life. After groaning and shaking his head a few times, he answered
‘Love Will Tear Us Apart’, the 1980 Joy Division track that was released the month after frontman Ian Curtis‘ death.
Reeves was also asked to name his favourite movie (1975’s Roller Ball, starring James Caan), best sandwich (toasted crunchy peanut butter sandwiches with honey), and his favourite smell. “Today, I’m going pick my 1974 Norton Commando when the engine warms up,” he answered the latter. “When you’ve been giving a good go, the oil in the engine heats up, and the smell that comes off the engine is really good.”
His most amusing answer came when he shared an anecdote about asking his Bill & Ted co-star George Carlin for an autograph. “He wrote, ‘Dear Keanu, Fuck You,'” Reeves remembered. “I always thought he just wrote that for me, but then I met someone else who said that he wrote the same thing to them.”
